In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the Book of Common Prayer, especially the classic 1662 version. Beloved for its language and theology, the classic Prayer Book is the fountainhead for almost all later editions of the Book of Common Prayer and remains a widely recognized standard for worship in the Anglican tradition. More than simply a collection of prayers, the Book of Common Prayer offers a transformative engagement with the Bible and a framework forour spiritual lives. In How to Use the Book of Common Prayer , Samuel Bray and Drew Keane (editors of The 1662 Book of Common Prayer: International Edition ) introduce the classic Prayer Book to newcomers. Beginning with a briefhistory and case for liturgical prayer, they walk through daily morning and evening prayer, baptism and Communion, the church year, and the Prayer Book’s plan for reading the Bible. This is not only an introduction to the Prayer Book―it's a guide toletting it form your faith. Review: A must have with The Book of Prayer - Wither you are new to Anglican or teaching someone how to use The Book of Prayer, this is a must have. I have the Book of Prayer 1662 and I recently received the Book of Prayer 2019 version and this purchase is applicable to both versions. The Book of Prayer isn’t a read though book, using this book as a guide is super helpful!!! Review: Shining a light on The Book of Common Prayer - I really enjoyed this book. I learned quite a bit about the structure of the BCP, and some of the features I had questions about, such as the church calendar. For anyone who is interested in the Anglican liturgical tradition, this book is a great place to start.

Leads to a deeper understanding
How to Use the Book of Common Prayer is a resource every Anglican or Episcopalian should appreciate. While this volume uses the 1662 edition that is used in the Church of England, this reader found that the information given about the purposes of each reading designed to prepare the participants for the lessons and give guidance to a deeper understanding of scripture can be followed in all versions of the prayer book. The short history of how the Prayer book came to be is very interesting for readers who are unfamiliar with Henry VIII’s split with Rome, the beginnings of the Protestant revolution and the subsequent upheaval in the monarchy. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.
